MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON SUNDAY. DECEMBER 16. 1962 Aid Administrator Occupies Tricky Hot Seat By DONALD MAY United Prats International Washington - ItPH - Every body likes a Santa Claus, and to it should follow that the chief of U.S. foreign aid, one of the biggest santas of them all, should be a greatly ad mired man. But, as with many other analogies in Washington, this one doesn't seem to work out. The foreign aid administrat or ocupies one of the capital's most tricky hot seals. He suf fers scorn from Congress, complaints of foreign govern ments and frequently the sharp knives of partisan politics. A few weeks ago these knives ended the term of of fice of the Kennedy adminis tration's original aid chief, Fowler Hamilton. Ball Appointed To succeed Hamilton, Presi dent Kennedy appointed his budget director, David Bell, 43-year-old, amiable and astute former college profes sor. There is considerable talk that Bell is just the "admin istration doctor" who can cure many of the troubles of the Agency for International De velopment (AID). . With this change of com mand, it is pertinent to take a long look at the U S. foreign aid program, how it grew and why many feel it is in need of medical attention. Many problems of the aid program are explained by the way in which it evolved. Dur ing World War II there was lend lease. After the war, aid became the Marshall Plan, de signed to restore Europe's in dustrial and agricultural pro duction. New Military Aid Then tensions in Southeast Asia meant aid to that area, too. The Korean war brought new requirements for military aid. In 1950 there was another addition the "Point 4" con- FREE GIFT-WRAP ki BUY NOW & SWft- A BEAUTIFUL NEW Jit ?S' vi-Jf ff-Jtt J 'i.

In the late 1950 s came still another concept: large scale development loans to back ward areas of the world. Thus, in a score of years, foreign aid evolved from an emergency wartime measure into dimensions which have led historian Arnold Toynbee to write: Asks Foreign Aid "Our ase will be well re membered not for its horrify ing crimes or its astonishing inventions but because it is the first generation since the dawn of history in which man kind dared to believe it prac tical to make the benefits of Tree Lilt Benefit Mentally Retarded Group The Moose Lodge's annual Christmas tree lift will bene fit the Jackson County Associ ation for Retarded Children, lodge officials have an nounced. The event will be held the afternoon of Jan. 1, 1963. Trucks will tour the city pick ing up discarded trees which have been placed on the front porch or on the front lawn. Persons wishing to donate to the project may place the money in an envelope and at- ! tach it to the tree. The trees will be taken to an area next to the Elk Lum ber company on Highway 99 i where they will be burned. Participating in the tree lift are Boy Scout Troops 7 and 9. Projects Benefit The past eight years five different projects have bene- fited from contributions to j the lodge's tree lift. They in clude March of Dimes, 1954 through 1957, $3,938; Medford playground equipment, 1958, S235; Junior Service League Kindergarten for Hard of Hearing children, 1959, $267; Sacred Heart hospital, 1960, $1,185; and Jackson park ball park, 1961, $850. The highest amount con tributed any one year was in 1956 when the March of Dimes received $1,336. Moose lodge officials stress ed that all of the money con tributed goes to the designated charily and no expenses are deducted. Residents were reminded that by having the lodge pick up their discarded tree it will eliminate the worry of a pos sible flue fire. Grange News Griffin Creek Grange At the regular business meeting of the Griffin Creek Grange it was decided not to have the annual Christmas program. Instead of the Christ mas program all members, their families and friends may attend the Cub Scout Christ mas program Monday, Dec. 17, at 7:30 p m. in Griffin Creek Grange hall. The Home Economics club will meet at the home of Mrs. George Mero Tuesday, Dec. 18, at 1 p.m. Gifts will be exchanged. Officers-elect will be install ed Sunday, Dec. 30, at 1:30 p.m. in Central Point Grange hall. civilization available to the whole human race." Last March President Ken nedy asked Congress for $4.8 billion in foreign aid funds. When the two whacks Con gress gets at the aid program authorization and appropria tion bills were over in Oc tober, the amount was scaled down to $3.9 billion. This was one of the deepest cuts in years. One of Bell's major tasks will be to improve the pro gram's relations with Con gress. Among his other jobs will be attention to a host of personnel problems which have plagued morale in the aid agency. When the Kennedy admin istration came into office in 1961, it shifted much of the emphasis of foreign aid from technological help and grants to loans for economic develop ment. This has meant the tech nological experts no longer are so important in the agency and the banking experts are more so. Because the agency pre viously had been dominated largely by technicians, the change to domination by bank ers, which is still going on, has been in the words of one inside observer "an agon izing one." In addition, there have been numerous organizational "short circuits" at high levels. The Kennedy administra tion gave new emphasis to aid to Latin America, provid ing this once-neglected field the title of "Alliance for Progress" and Installing Teo doro Moscoso as its program chief. A battle developed whether Moscoso should be mainly a subordinate of Ham ilton or mainly independent. "Moscoso and Hamilton went to the mat at the White House over this," says one ob server. "Hamilton nominally won, and it was decreed that the alliance came under the aid program. But it never went entirely smoothly." Review Some Projects There also has been con troversy over the degree of White House involvement in the day-to-day affairs of aid. Under the recent system, White House aide McGcorge Bundy was entitled to re view all projects over $2.5 million on grounds they af fected U.S. international gold balances. The aid agency also faces some major policy decisions in coming months. For ex ample, Chester Bowles, the White House adviser on un derdeveloped countries, and others have been advocating a "tougher" policy of giving aid to countries less on politi cal grounds and more on a basis of their ability to use it. All of which should make a lively time frontiersman Bell. ATTENTION DOG OWNERS!
